Floral Reprise

Mind-Blowing

Our camellia bush blooms every year without fail,

I will explain it to you in greater detail,

It’s remarkably predictable, but curiously strange,

It’s a phenomenon of grandeur that never does change,

Each spring it blooms abundantly in bright blossoms of hot pink,

A large round bush, but wait, it has something unique,

The bright flowers are always accompanied by two,

Two that are white, I am not kidding you,

Only two white flowers, something doesn’t seem right,

But it happens each time, there are two that are white!

I forget all about it, until it happens one day,

Then once again my mind is blown completely away,

It’s nature’s way of giving me a sweet surprise,

It’s like a symphony garden with a floral reprise,

The blooms are short-lived, as most spring flowers are,

But our camellia bush is a spectacle, quite bizarre!
